When a Miami home needs new windows or doors, the real question isn’t whether to upgrade; it’s whether the products will survive the next named storm. Winslow Windows & Doors helps homeowners across Miami navigate Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) code, which is stricter here than anywhere else in the country. We answer our phones around the clock at (239) 310-4121, and we’ll walk you through what your home actually needs, not what a big-box store happens to stock. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.

Why Miami Homeowners Choose Winslow Windows & Doors
We’ve built our reputation in Miami one building at a time, from Brickell high-rises requiring crane rigging and HOA sign-offs to Coral Way bungalows where the original jalousies are finally giving out. Homeowners keep our number because a live person answers at 2 a.m. when a window blows out, and because our technicians arrive in uniform with background checks already complete, so you know exactly who’s at your door before the first handshake. We are locally owned by Ed Winslow, with a published address and license number; no shell companies, no ticket-number call centers. Our Done Right Promise means if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period. That’s the standard we’ve held ourselves to since 2011, and it’s what homeowners in Miami’s oldest and newest neighborhoods tell their neighbors about.
Windows & Doors Services We Offer in Miami
Impact Windows
Impact windows are the legal floor in Miami, not an upgrade. We install laminated impact glass from PGT and CGI, every configuration carrying a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and matched to the design pressure of your specific opening. Learn more about our Impact Windows in Miami.
Window Installation
Whether you’re replacing one failed unit or re-glazing an entire CBS home, our crews handle the permits, the inspections, and the paperwork so the job passes the first time. Learn more about our Window Installation in Miami.
Window Replacement
Old jalousie windows can’t legally be reinstalled once disturbed, which is why so many Miami homeowners end up replacing whole openings after a single-window repair triggers an inspection. We’ll scope the full job honestly and help you phase it if needed. Learn more about our Window Replacement in Miami.
Door Installation
Entry doors in Miami face salt air, hurricane pressure, and daily humidity. We install Therma-Tru and PGT doors rated for Miami-Dade’s wind zone, with proper thresholds, sweeps, and hardware that won’t rust out in five years.
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Sliders get the hardest workout in Miami, especially in waterfront condos where salt spray eats at aluminum tracks. We install impact-rated sliders and French doors with rollers and tracks built for the marine environment, not a showroom in Ohio.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Low-E glass and insulated frames cut Miami cooling loads by 20-30% in real-world terms, which matters when your AC runs ten months a year. We’ll help you balance energy performance with the impact ratings your wall openings require.
Impact Garage Doors
Garage doors are the single most common breach point in a hurricane. We install impact-rated garage doors that meet Miami-Dade code and won’t bow inward when the storm surge pushes against them.
Custom & Geometric Windows
On homes from Coconut Grove to Morningside, original architectural glass is often non-impact and non-compliant. We fabricate custom shapes; ovals, arches, radius corners; in impact-rated glass so you don’t have to sacrifice character for code.
Roof Repair
Windows and doors don’t work alone. We repair leak points around roof penetrations, flashing, and seams, because a roof leak migrating into a window header is still a roof problem.
Roof Replacement & Installation
We replace and install asphalt shingle, concrete tile, and standing seam metal roofs across Miami, coordinating envelope work so your roof, windows, and doors all meet the same HVHZ standard.
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
We install all three primary Miami roofing systems and help you choose what your structure, HOA, and budget actually support. No change orders, no vague allowances; upfront pricing, written line items.
If you need a broader look at how windows fit into your home’s shell, start with our home page, where you’ll find plain-English guidance on every system we install.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Miami
Our crews work across Miami from the bay to the Palmetto. You’ll find our trucks regularly in:
- Brickell - high-rise window and door replacements with HOA and rigging coordination
- Coral Gables - impact windows that meet historic-district design reviews
- Little Havana - whole-house jalousie-to-impact conversions on CBS bungalows
- Edgewater - condo tower units where shared-envelope permitting applies
- Wynwood - storefront and residential door packages
We typically have a crew in your part of Miami within a day or two once we scope the job.
Why Miami’s Climate & Housing Affect Windows & Doors
Miami-Dade County is the only major US metro designated a High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Every window and door here must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a certification stricter than the standard Florida Building Code that governs Orlando, Tampa, or Jacksonville. Products legal to install anywhere else in Florida are frequently prohibited in Miami. Add to that the dominant housing stock: concrete block homes built from the 1940s through the 1980s, many still fitted with original single-pane jalousie windows that satisfy zero HVHZ requirements. Miami’s position on a low-lying peninsula between Biscayne Bay and the open Atlantic also accelerates salt-air corrosion of aluminum frames, sill tracks, and hardware; waterfront units can show frame and fastener failure in under a decade. These aren’t theoretical concerns. They’re the daily reality of every window and door we touch in Miami.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Miami
Impact window pricing in Miami runs higher than in most US cities because of the code, the glass makeups, and the permitting. Here’s what homeowners should expect:
- Impact window replacement: $900-$1,800 per opening for standard sizes, installed
- Impact sliding glass door: $2,500-$5,500 per unit depending on width and track system
- Entry door replacement (impact-rated): $1,500-$4,000 including hardware and threshold
- Whole-house impact package (typical 1,800 sq ft CBS): $18,000-$42,000 before incentives
- Permitting and engineering: $400-$1,200 depending on scope and building type
Call (239) 310-4121 for a written line-item estimate. We don’t give ballparks over the phone and then change them on the invoice.
Florida Pays Miami Homeowners Back
Miami homeowners have a financial stack available that most of the country doesn’t. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which on a $25,000 package is real money. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75-$150), most Miami carriers credit around 25% off the windstorm portion of your premium; in this market, that can mean hundreds to over a thousand dollars a year. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, but we’ll point you to the right paperwork and inspectors so you don’t leave money on the table.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: What Miami Homeowners Should Know
Shutters are cheaper upfront. They also require someone to be home when the storm comes, physically present to deploy panels or crank down accordions, and that someone has to do it in rising wind and rain. Impact windows do their job permanently, no panels to hang, no tracks to lubricate, no storage to figure out. In a city where evacuation orders can come with 24 hours’ notice and homeowners may not be there to close up, permanent protection is a real advantage. Washington Avenue, Calle Ocho, US-1; the difference shows up differently in each, but the conclusion is the same. Impact glazing is structural, sealed, and always on duty.

FAQs About Windows & Doors in Miami
Impact window installation in Miami typically runs $900 to $1,800 per standard opening, with whole-house packages on typical CBS homes landing between $18,000 and $42,000 before incentives. Your exact number depends on the size of each opening, the design pressure required for your wind zone, and how many units you’re replacing. Call (239) 310-4121 for a written, line-item quote; estimates are free and we don’t change the number once work starts.
In Miami-Dade County, you need the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA). Florida Building Code product approvals that pass in Orlando, Tampa, or Jacksonville are frequently rejected by Miami inspectors, because this county is the only High Velocity Hurricane Zone in the country. If your window or door doesn’t carry an NOA for its exact configuration, it cannot legally be installed in Miami.
Yes, in most cases. After a wind-mitigation inspection, Miami insurers typically credit around 25% off the windstorm portion of your premium for qualifying impact products. Given Miami’s premium levels, that often means hundreds to over a thousand dollars per year. Your insurer sets the final number; we’ll help you get the inspection and the documentation in order.
You can replace one, but be aware that Miami inspectors may flag other original jalousie windows while they’re at your property. Jalousies can’t be legally reinstalled once disturbed, so a single-window repair frequently turns into a phased whole-house retrofit. We’ll scope the house honestly and give you a prioritized plan so you’re never surprised by the inspector.
Installation itself can be as fast as a single day once your units arrive. Custom fabrication typically runs 4 to 6 weeks from approved shop drawings. We coordinate with your building or HOA where required, and we’ll give you a schedule before the first permit is pulled. Call (239) 310-4121 to get your project on the calendar.

What Miami Customers Say
"Three big companies quoted us and every one sent a salesman with a leased truck. Ed turned up in a truck with his own name on the door, quoted less, and his crew were the same faces on day one and day nine."
- Yolanda Betancourt"Our insurance agent asked for the wind mitigation paperwork and Ed had the whole file ready the day the job closed, every opening photographed. The premium conversation went very differently this year."
- Odessa Fairbanks"Ed measured every opening himself and walked me through the product approval paperwork before I signed anything. When the inspector came he found the notice of acceptance taped inside a window like it should be and passed us first visit."
